Bioengineer Program
Meets Health Needs
Now entering its third academic
year, TAMU’s bioengineering pro
gram is well on its way to help
ing meet the national need for an
increase in health professionals.
“Physicians and engineers alike
are steadily recognizing that our
society does not have persons
broadly enough trained to solve
critical health care delivery prob
lems,” noted Dr. Paul H. Newell
Jr., professor and head of the bio
engineering program.
The university’s interest in soc
ial betterment led to the 1969
inception of the bioengineering
program, mission-oriented to the
educational preparation of future
bioengineering and the execution
of research and development on
pressing social and medical prob
lems.
“The interdisciplinary nature of
our program produces a strong
influence upon each student of the
many variables which must be
identified and dealt with in solv
ing complex problems of living
systems,” Newll said.
Newell is also director of the
Rehabilitation Engineering Cen
ter, a joint activity between
TAMU, Baylor College of Medi
cine and the Texas Institute of
Rehabilitation and Research. He
cited rehabilitation engineering as
a major opportunity for bioen
gineering involvement,
i “The research and develop
ment projects in which our grad
uate students also participate,
will offer new knowledge, tech
niques and systems that can
eventually be incorporated into
the clinical environment for di
rect patient benefit,” Newell said.
Citing the ambitious efforts of
the faculty to obtain research ap
propriations, Newell said that all
present bioengineering graduate
students are receiving research
assistantships.
Graduate students in the Bio
engineering Department at TA
MU are involved in research pro
grams ranging from pressure re
lief systems, instrumental in pre
venting and treating bedsores, to
development of an artificial skin
material which will be compatable
with body tissue.
Another project deals with an
inexpensive implantable system
for mass-monitoring temperature
in animals. Such instrumentation
would make possible early detec
tion of disease in animals and
would have particular application
in raising livestock.
One student is developing a
model of the lymphatic system,
which could result in an increased
understanding of the dynamics
of the lymphatic system, a vital
ingredient in controlling cancer.
Another student is dealing with
the design of servo-systems for
automobile controls which would
be used by the disabled.
“The graduate students’ inter
disciplinary training is molded
through a fusion of research con-

tributions and bioengineering
courses,” Newell noted, “Bioma
terials compatability and biochem
ical thermodynamics are current
graduate course offerings.”
He said bioengineering under
graduate students will study bio
medical and social systems as a
program introduction. Other un
dergraduate courses in the de
partment include bioelectric and
biocontrol systems and the theo
retical analysis.
“It’s a major asset that our
bioengineering students are ac
quiring a broad background un
der the guidance of an interdis
ciplinary faculty,” Newell added.
“And, the opportunity of clin
ically-based study, made possible
through our agreements with
Baylor College of Medicine and
the Texas Institute for Rehabili
tation and Research, has enhanced
the total learning experience of
this program.”
Batt Film Review
‘Harry in Pocket’
By JULIA JONES
The best time for movie re
views is right before the week
end. A reviewer can steer the
innocent away from bad flicks
and shove them toward the good
ones before they go. However,
in some cases a reviewer should
forget the time rule and save
as many as possible. There are
only three days left on “Harry
In Your Pocket,” but a fan saved
is a fan earned. In other words,
don’t go. “Harry” is not the
worst effort that has been made,
but it leaves a hungry feeling an
hour after being seen (yes, like
a Chinese restaurant). It is one
of Hollywood’s new fads, flicks
made on location. These are often
low-budgeted pictures that have a
small cast and rely heavily on
the civilian population for walk-
on parts. Most of them are low
on plot and high on scenery. They
often rely on some gimmick the
audience will be interested in
‘Harry’ it is pick-pocketing. Some
of the recent releases of this
sort were “White Lightening,”
filmed in Little Rock, Ark, and
“Sugerland Express” with Goldie
Hawn. “Express” was made in
Houston, as was “The Thief that
came to Dinner,” a mildly charm
ing try. “Harry” follows this for
mula to the tee. The story is
about two young pick-pockets,
played by Michel Sarrazin and
Trish Van DevCre. Down on their
luck they join forces with two
professionals to learn the trade.
The chief professional is Harry,
played by James Coburn.
The rest of the story is learn
ing to pick-pocket in three easy
lessons while trying hard to keep
the audience’s sympathy. I found
it hard to sympathize, but it was
fascinating to see how a pick
pocket plies his trade. That was
the only fascinating thing. The
rest of the flick is filled with boy
loves girl, Harry loves girl, girl
loves both. It also has boy gets
girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl
back, maybe. By the time boy
gets girl back he could have been
kissing his nurse for all I cared.
There are many inconsistencies
in the plot. Harry is portrayed
as a hard case that would sell
his own mother to a fence, yet in
the end he sacrifices himself for
Sarrazine whom he despises. The
director obviously expected the
audience to sympathize with his
characters, but as a poor aggie
who values money, I was rooting
for the cops. The only real action
was picking pockets and endless
meals in hotel restaurants. Ob
viously filmed in the same Holi
day Inn, atmosphere is not one
of its strong points. James Co
bum gives a stony performance,
however he is so good to look at
that you might forgive him. Trish
Van Devere, who incidently is Ms.
George C. Scott, is all right. She
succeeds in looking fairly intelli
gent, which was not easy with the
lines she has.
If you are thinking of a night
out between now and Thursday
save your money and try televi
sion instead. At least you can
change the channel.
